There have been a few articles in the recent weeks about the security guards at museums. The most recent is that a guard at the Carnegie (another article) damaged a Vija Celmins’ painting to a degree that it might be beyond repair, and the fact that some LACMA guards carry pistols (another article). Well, on a recent visit to LACMA, I witnessed one guard napping in a chair as I walked down stairs from the European collection to the Modern, and another guard sitting on a bench making a personal phone call inside the Philip-Lorca DiCorcia exhibition. To me, this is more of a concern than guards with guns. Their job is to remind “adults” not to touch the art and to step back, step away from the Art, and not nap in plush chairs.
